David Paul Cronenberg is a Canadian horror & science fiction film director. He is famous for creating the genre of body horror, exploring peoples fears of bodily transformation & infection. In his films, the psychological is typically intertwined with the physical. Cronenbergs films follow a definite progression, a movement from the social world to the inner life. In his early films, scientists modify human bodies, which results in social anarchy. In his middle period, the chaos wrought by the scientist is more personal,. In the later period, the scientist himself is altered by his hubris. This trajectory culiminates in Dead Ringers, in which a twin pair of gynecologists spiral into codependency & drug addiction. Cronenbergs later films tend more to the psychological, often contrasting subjective & obective realities. In most projects, Cronenberg tries to represent his motto New Flesh, which explains the mutation of human body or living organism by a machine or any other mutated organism, into the New Flesh.
